Notas do Editor
- Before I begin talking about academics at UO I enjoy sharing this word cloud based on a student survey. Students were asked What does it mean to be a Duck? And based on their responses words that came up more frequently show up most prominently in the cloud. As an advisor I love that words like “student” and “academics” and “education” show up, but what stands out most to me is “community.” The students feel the UO is a community and we advisors are excited to welcome them to this community. We know this community may be much bigger than what they are used to, so our goal is to help them find their niche and find their community within this larger UO community so they can feel supported in their journey here.
- Hello, Welcome and Congratulations on your admission to UO. I am ……………………., an academic advisor in the Office of Academic Advising. We are the temporary academic home for students who are undeclared as to their major. How many of you have a declared major? How many of you are thinking about switching your major? FYI – it’s ok if you are unsure or thinking of switching, about 1/3 of incoming students are undeclared to start and many switch major. I changed my major 3 times in college!
- Here is a sample degree guide. Lots of various numbers that it keeps track of as you complete courses.
- It’s important for students to understand that have much greater responsibility for their journey now. Students have access to: The Degree Audit The Transfer Evaluation Report Email (REQUIRED!) Canvas (Course Management) They are expected to access DuckWeb and email and CANVAS regularly! But it’s important to note they have many resources available to them. What can be the challenge is learning that it’s OK to ask. Students sometimes think they don’t have any questions. We still want them to find out what resources are out there and talk to us!
